Description
Summary:Edith Campbell Huckleberry picking These scenes of food gathering and processing were initiated in order to record some of the traditional food processing practices among the Gitxsan and to fill some of the gaps left by earlier anthropologist and cultural observers. The objective was to create colour images of practices that were partially captured in earlier black and white photographs and in early texts such as those written by Marius Barbeau and William Beynon. The Book Builders of 'Ksan produced a volume on these collecting and processing practices titled Gathering what the Great Nature provided: food traditions of the Gitksan, by the people of 'Ksan.
